JAKARTA - Since entering the Indian market, Jeep Compass has been one of the popular models to meet urban mobility needs. But Jeep's prospects for India have declined due to various unfavorable factors. As a result, the company is working to change the situation by launching a Jeep Compass which is likely to test a new gasoline engine as a 2024 model.

Reporting from RushLane, Sunday, October 15, this car was caught on camera being tested in the country by showing several changes. Starting from the front facility which is slightly different from before. The bumper part is also redesigned with a different remote fog light. Revisions are also made on the back.

However, Jeep still maintains minor designs on the front which include grids, headlights, and overall designs that feature the characteristics of the car.

Although it is certain that it will bring changes to the exterior, in terms of powertrain has not found certainty. Due to uncertainty regarding future diesel powertrains and shorter life in areas such as New Delhi. This makes the consideration of choosing a gasoline machine make sense.

It is likely that Jeep Compass 2024 will carry a small capacity turbo gasoline engine like the global engine version with a slight modification. That means, the 1.3 liter turbo gasoline engine Renegade will be a reasonable choice.

The 1.3 liter GSE Turbo G4 4-cylinder gasoline engine is capable of ejecting up to 147 dk of power and 270 Nm of torque which is likely to be equipped with a dual-dry-clutch transmission (DDCT) which will allow the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hour in less than 10 seconds.

With the use of this gasoline engine, the latest Jeep Compass is expected to have a more affordable price and could increase its sales in the Indian market. With the trials being carried out, it is estimated that this car will be launched at least next year.
